Holiday listening

May 14, 2009

Well, it’s finally that time. 18 months since I last had a holiday, I’m off to Thailand for a couple of weeks. Perhaps I’ll post when I’m out there – or not.

What I will be doing, though, is taking a stack of CDs that I’ve wanted more time with. Yes, CDs! I want my ears to consume as much of the frequencies that my Sony D-NF340 and Sennheiser HD 280s can pump out. Anything to be closer to the artist, engineer and producer’s actual sound instead of the compressed 192kbps MP3s my lifestyle forces me to hear.

It’s been difficult to get time to listen to what I want to listen to as the stuff I have to listen to usually takes priority.

I’m taking a mix of new and old:

The Specials – The Specials (remastered)
Blood – Franz Ferdinand
More Heart Than Brains – Bike for Three!
primary colours – The Horrors
Situation – Buck 65
Sticky Fingers – The Rolling Stones (remastered)
Goats Head Soup – The Rolling Stones (remastered)
It’s only rock n’ roll – The Rolling Stones (remastered)
Grey Britain – Gallows
Fun DMC – People under the stairs
Stepfather – People under the stairs
Blind Melon – Blind Melon
Dirt – Alice in Chains
Straight outta Compton – N.W.A. (remastered)
The Atlantic Ocean – Richard Swift
Dylan – Bob Dylan (remastered)
Liquid Swords – Genius / Gza
The Snake – Wildbirds and Peacedrums
Remembranza – Murcof
Martes – Murcof
Stratus Energy – Faze Action
Mother’s Milk – Red Hot Chili Peppers (remastered)
Desperate Youth, Bloodthirsty babes – TVOTR
Return to Cookie Mountain – TVOTR
Fever Ray – Fever Ray
The Omega Sanction – Akira the Don
Two Suns – Bat for Lashes
Powerage – AC/DC (remastered)
The Razor’s Edge – AC/DC (remastered)
For those about to rock – AC/DC (remastered)
Ready to die – The Notorious BIG (remastered)
Technicolour Wilderness – Candythief

So, yeah. That little lot and some heavy literature should just about see me through two weeks of predicted bliss.

See you in a fortnight.
